shows nicks of users on a channel. You can also use this commend to see if a channel currently exists. If that is the case, you'll get a list of people who are currently in the channel.example: /names #txdungeon

/nick [newnick]

if I wanted to change my current nick, Ambrosio to Domlydom, I would use this command.example: /nick Domlydom

/part [#]

/query [nick]

opens a new window for private dialog with a nick.example: /query Ambrosio

/quit (message)
